Oh! It's possible I might have something I could use for a PLA. I will check into that! Thanks for suggesting.
Do I need to go ahead and enroll and TESU to take that Global course that's 6 credits? I only have 14 credits so far, but can't figure out from other posts if I should wait till I have a hundred credits or if I should go ahead and do it now and lock in to this year's requirements.
Also, should I go ahead and enroll at study.com ? I saw that on to some other threads, to get rid of the Cornerstone class and discount fees.
Thank you so much for giving the suggestions of courses and listing them. Would it be possible for someone to plug them in the BALS list for me? To collate them so I can print it out and hang it on my wall? (putting the International Studies things into a BALS spreadsheet, so I can take what I love and concentrate on that). Or even message me and help me go over the spreadsheet filling in things I'd love to study? I could probably do it with some help.
I guess we could then add it to the wiki in case somebody else would ever be interested in a BALS slanted towards International Studies.
All the plans made so far I have downloaded are predominantly business related. Not really things I want to study. Ha!
My problem is, I don't know where to go next and what to do the order in. I have been unable to figure it out. I'm sorry, my brain doesn't work that way even though I try! :-) It used to, but not recently.
Meanwhile, after reading around the board again some more plus reading through this thread, (I'm not on here often as my mom is late stage cancer and I don't have time to do everything) do I need to pick a concentration for a BALS? If so, where would I find a list of concentrations I could choose from? I want something as close to International Studies as possible. Would that be Humanities? (I saw someone mention that in a different thread.) Or does it even matter? I can't find any consensus on that.
I'm sorry to be such a pain and ask so many possibly obvious questions, but for me they're not easily known and I'm so stressed right now I just need straight up answers. Ha:-)
Thank you very much for all the help.
